And that’s with the make shift grandstand. But I must say the viewing all round the Leicester track is superb, that’s what we should aim for Edited July 12, 2023 by Gasser90 Added more 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrismorton 332 Posted July 12, 2023 Just think..if 700 of us put in a grand each we could do it...I would if someone I trust was leading it and guaranteed that we wouldn't have to put up with the crap we've had to witness this season..oh and I want a seat on the start line and a free program...and not have to pay a £1 for parking 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grass banking would more than suffice in the early days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DazS 430 Posted July 12, 2023 who decided councils own land, who did they buy it off, and whos money? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flappy 1,605 Posted July 13, 2023 The land in question is down Oxney Road I'm lead to believe but as said above staying at the showground is the only chance this has of materialising in reality. The resistance has to start now. I understand MT is talking to Buster about the club but won't make any statements until deals are done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As BSPL would have had one of their Board Directors on site - Mr Bates - I imagine it would have been him. (He would simply remove his Sheffield Cap/Jacket for the night and replace it with a Panthers one!). Unless of course Rob Godfrey would have stepped in (with Chris Louis otherwise occupied and Danny Ford away on hols)?!
